I was using DSLR Remote by Bitshift with GB 3.6 until upgrading to Android 4.0.4. Now, the app no longer works and I'm wondering if it could have anything to do with the upgrade. My question is a long shot I know.
The app is a DSLR remote control which requires a small DIY circuit (just 2 x transistors and 2 x resistors) to be put together with a cable between the camera and the Note's audio jack. Audio signals from the Note drive the interface circuit to activate focusing and shutter release on the camera.
With the help of the app developer, I've established that there's nothing wrong with the circuit or cable. What seems to be the case is that the phone's audio jack is no longer putting out enough current to drive the interface circuit. The only thing I've changed is the upgrade to ICS 4.0.4.
As I say, a long shot but I thought someone might have an idea about what the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.
Trevor
Android 4.0.4
Baseband version N7000DXLR1
Kernet version 3.0.13-N7000DXLR5-CL968032
Build number IMM76D.DXLR5
It may be so as the unrelated Voodoo Louder app (that increases max jacked volume) had a major decrease in max loudness after upgrading to ICS.
I think it may be related.
If no one else has a clue, I believe you may have to ask Supercurio (voodoo dev) for his feedback.

Thank you for the reply. That makes sense. However, I'm not aware that the volume decreased after I had upgraded to ICS. If there is a difference, I can't hear it.
Just for fun, I tried installing Voodoo Louder (Paid) since it was only a dollar or so but, again, it made no difference that I could hear.

I'm not sure on now to respond to your question, but have you tried asking back the app developer if his DIY app supports the new ICS firmware also?
The reason why I'm asking this is that, your app developer might have develop his app on GB platform and inasmuch, if that's the case, then that app cannot and will not work with ICS anymore.
ICS is a sort of a leapfrog from GB you know.. It's a case of you-win some and you-lose some functionality thing. You lose some of the basic GB functionalities and you gain some new ICS ones.
Well, thanks for responding anyway.
Yes, of course I asked the app developer. I mentioned in my OP that he'd helped me test the DIY hardware and cabling and we could find nothing wrong. My first question to him was if he knew of any issues with ICS on the Galaxy Note that might be the cause and he said he wasn't (there was one reviewer who said it didn't work on his Galaxy Note but this could mean anything).
The output from the phone appears on the audio jack as it should but the question of adequate AC voltage to drive the app hardware came up and I can't verify that without a scope which I don't possess.
I'm used to finding that with any hardware/software upgrade you lose and you gain. I was just wondering if any of the experts here, especially those developing sound related apps, could throw any light on it. If I have to live without the app it's not the end of the world. It's just a very useful app for a photographer with a DSLR - and not only is it free, it's ad free!
Markuzy suggested that the max output had been reduced with ICS and referred me to the Voodoo Sound developer website. What I read there seemed to suggest that there had been some reduction but that this was later fixed by Samsung. Who knows?
Thanks again.

Would you please take the time to dig into the calling problem,
find out if any 2G/gsm chips that fit into camera ,

Just like this amazing guy using PXA300 processor?
How i wish i could buy the calling camera someday in this promising xda area.

It works just fine.. you can use speakerphone with just about any VOIP carrier. There's no earpiece so everything is on speakerphone. I don't care to spend any time enabling carrier calling.

That is a little pity..
In many countries,such as China, VOIP.Skype, is not very useful because the 3G signal instability.
Many people have said they would pay some money if 2G is working.so do I

Voip Voice Calling Works
Last nite I downloaded GrooveIP, plugged my earphones from my Galaxy Note in and called my home phone .... worked! Was able to hear in the earphones, and record a message using the earphones microphone on my home message machine.
This is on a black Samsung Galaxy Camera with the 4.1.2 update applied.

no, its software.
Heres to hoping they fix the low headset volume, and High BT volume experienced on some headsets (that last one is my biggest gripe with the phone)
turkishness -> In my Nexus 5 I haven't got the same sound volume concerning the SMS and when I play a video. I think (hope ) it's software issue
Now we just need to wait for the rollout to start and for some nice chap to post the ota zip and then we can all sideload it right away.
I think the sound problem is software, they just won't let us turn it up loud enough.

It's a pretty common fact now that compared to most other smart phones, the Droid Turbo volume just does not get very loud, in fact it's rather quiet. I'm not looking to blow out my ears, but I'd like to be able to comfortably hear who I'm speaking with on the phone (w/o distortion), and having sufficient (it's at least a few notches lower than my previous iphone 5s) volume through the headphones is absolutely essential for me as the music player is the most important part of the phone for me, aside from call/text. How do I increase the volume? I believe it can be found in the build script, but it seems a little more in-depth than other phones. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

My wife called me the other day. She was so loud that I was able to put it on my lap and both me and my daughter could hear her. I didn't even have to use the speaker phone.
Anyone else?
When there is any sort of natural noise from outside or out in the public, it is noticeably quieter than any smartphone I've had, other than the 2013 moto x, so it seems to be a modern Motorola thing. I know this is an easy fix for someone who is informed. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Can anyone help me please?

Nobody has an answer because there is no fix. Root is needed to modify volumes past stock.
Turn off audio effects for headphone. Place speaker grille (not glass) at the middle of your ear when talking. Use custom ringtones for increased volume if the stock ones aren't loud enough.
I personally find it all to be plenty loud.

Prove me wrong then. Modify it without root.

Could it be the call privacy settings?
Phone -> Settings -> Voice Privacy (mine is set to off)
Settings -> Sound -> Audio Effects (should be off)
I personally think that the phone is too quiet as well.. Definitely doesn't pass the shower test. I should be able to hear my phone playing music over the sound of the shower and the bathroom fan at the same time - I can't.
I went through multiple replacements for this issue. Evidently, the new unit I received (assembled 12/15/14) does not exhibit a volume problem. I think there is an issue with many of the units out in the wild, but it is unclear if there will be/can be a software fix without root. For those with defective devices, no amount of settings changes to the stock software seem to work. I would contact Verizon wile you have the opportunity to do so. Keep in mind, however, that you are opening a can of worms. It might take a few replacements to get one with better volume.

Voice Privacy lowers volume? Mine was checked...
I really noticed the low volume of this phone and I made a patch to make it higher, it only works for Moto maxx at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it can be achieved in droid turbo via android sdk adb commands I need to keep reading about it.
Could to share the patch?

Negatory. that is a proprietary setup and adb, well it isn't.
So it is correct that nothing can be done until we achieve root?

Now I have a crazy idea: Make an Xposed Module has uses this SDK for hooking any of your installed Apps and make it compatible with AA.
This will be the holy grail! :fingers-crossed:

AA uses a "video" stream for sending the screen data to the HU. This option (and the new 1080p) it's only for forcing the resolution. Stock size is 640p, and enhanced sizes are 720p & 1080p. Nothing related to "video play"!

You're free to not use it! I'm using Magisk+Xposed and my banking apps. :laugh:
And the idea is fresh: Add "hooked" AA compatibility on-the-fly to any app! This can be done using Xposed.

Interesting... However, I prefer other type of Apps.
not necessarily to watch video, sometime you can "hear" mp4 song is also enough, rather than every time converting mp4 to mp3, when you want to listen
something like hearing waze instruction, once a while, not like you have to look at waze every time

This is possible, but:
Passing touchscreen events requires root.
Android Auto normally replaces screen content with its logo and it would be mirrored.

Audio is channelled through USB while on AA, as far as I know... At least that's what I've read on specialised sites, forums, and tested on my own car. V4A works well while streaming through Bluetooth, but once you plug it in to USB, no processing is done since the head units DSP takes over...
